Description

For sample children ages 5-17 who have ever been suspended, excluded, or expelled from school, EXPELTIMR is a recoded variable that reports the time since the student was last suspended, excluded, or expelled from school in intervals.

EXPELTIMR is part of the Child Health supplement, first released in 1981. This supplement includes a number of questions on child's schooling. For more information and related variables, please see GOSCHOOLEV, or use the IPUMS NHIS search function and drop-down menus.

Comparability

Slight changes in interval coding may affect comparability between years. Researchers should look closely at response categories before making comparisons.
